Springwatch 2023

Final episode of ‘23, what a fabulous season we have witnessed, so much new science and understanding. Nature in red tooth and claw.

Well that’s if for another fabulous season.
Save the Wild Cats initiative , great news there saving that very important genome.  Wow, those beautiful Bee Eaters now returning to last year’s successful breeding site in Norfolk . Also those orchids growing across several rewildling projects, cracking rewards for all that hard work.

A warning though, the massive annual introduction of non native pheasants for purely shooting purposes in rural environments is having a devastating impact on our native and now threatened reptile populations, very worrying indeed.

Hey, and the preservation of veteran trees which are essential to our tree dwelling bats!
Finally, ospreys now established on our south coast, there were those who doubted this, well soon, given the positive help,  those WT eagles who may well breed in the south of England next year following that successful reintroduction. Three weeks of absolute delight. Good to hear those best wishes from all of the SpringWatch Team went out to Iolo on his continued health improvement . Here’s to another fabulous season in the near future! Brilliant!

I have enjoyed the series as well and that White Tailed Eagle turning up even Chris was surprised as well.

Bet they are busy at Arne now collecting cables and cameras, there will be a lot of traffic around Wareham today.
